sacred salt therapy
Each and every cell of your body contains this sacred mineral.
It serves a crucial role in the proper function of so many of our body systems from nerve and muscle function to nutrient transport across cell membranes.
Anyone who retreats to the sea (or gulf) for some salt water therapy can attest to its feel-good healing properties but did you know that breathing in salt particles is proven to improve respiratory health?
These practices go as far back as ancient Greece and Egypt but more recently, in the 19th century, the benefits of salt therapy were formally recognized in Eastern Europe when a physician noticed salt miners had significantly fewer respiratory issues than other workers.
Thus, spending time in salt caves became a common treatment for respiratory and even skin health.
At Zen Den, we’re thrilled to be able to bring this ancient therapy into a modern and accessible space while honoring its roots in centuries-old observations of salt’s proven healing potential.
Our salt chamber utilizes a halogenerator to disperse dry, aerosolized micro-particles of 99.9% pure grade sodium chloride into the chamber, penetrating deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli with every inhale, and those that aren’t ingested, fall onto the skin offering a slew of benefits to the largest organ of your body.
Stick around, we have so much more to share regarding this ancient ritual and it’s amazing benefits and are so excited to be one of the firsts on the MS Gulf Coast to offer this treatment.
